Here's the current WP competition. At first, I wasn't interested. But on second thoughts ...
As always with our perennial Join Now neologism contests, Week 976 provided lots of funny combinations of parts of words to make new ones, as youll see from this weeks results. And also as always, the Empress received dozens of entries in which the new word was nifty but the accompanying definition a bit niftless. This week were going to do a little crowdsourcing:
Supply a humorous definition for any of these promising Loser-penned neologisms. You may add a hyphen if you like, wherever you like. Keep in mind that because were working from only a few dozen words, many entries are sure to have the same general idea. So the ink will flow to the best-written ones; using the word in a funny sentence might help (using the word in an unfunny sentence will not).
E-mail entries to
losers@washpost.com or fax to 202-334-4312. Deadline is Monday, July 23; results published Aug. 12 (online Aug. 10). No more than 25 entries per entrant per week. Include Week 980 in your e-mail subject line or it might be ignored as spam. Include your real name, postal address and phone number with your entry.
